I did 3!

I want to be able to do at least 8 consecutive pull-ups... an I'd like to compete in a figure competition.

I don't get why people freak out about pooping going on in a bathroom... hello???? It's a toilet... It's being used for it's intended purpose!

That really made me LOL!

I'm in!

Yep we call em "fart bars" too! The kids love them!

You need to go in and change your settings for the percentages of carbs/proteins/fats! Someone recommended to me to put them at 40/30/30... I am still over on carbs all the time though...

I don't get this. I hear it ALL the time... cut carbs! limit fruit! restrict all sugar! I get ASKED all the time if I cut carbs. I don't and never have. I realize everyone is different and someone else's body may respond differently than mine... but I guess I have to wonder what gives??? I do try to get at least a gram of…

Thanks so much Stroutman81! Such great information!!!

I tried one of those epilady torture devices and I never got used to it. It hurt just as bad to me even after using it for months!

Magic Shave is awesome... don't use it on my legs (just shave those) but rather on the lady parts. Talk about bald!!! ... no ingrown hairs or razor rash either. Stinks like perm solution but it totally does the trick!

This is going to sound really archaic but my own personal feelings towards marriage are rooted in my beliefs about God a creation. I believe marriage was God's idea. For a man and woman to come together and devote themselves to one another for life... it's the most beautiful sacred thing ever. I am married to my soul-mate…

It's only worth the money if you actually USE it! My gym membership is worth every penny. I would do without other things if I had to in order to keep it!

I google EVERYTHING!

gloves girly!!! :)

... and coffee... which I'm about to drink!

Does it have to be a food? :devil: .... kidding... chocolate and a diet coke.

So because of this thread I decided I wanted to get on the pull-up bandwagon! I hadn't even attempted a real pull-up in years... I'd been doing assisted pull-ups for quite a long time but didn't think I was capable of doing one without assistance. So this week I tried and I'm stronger than I thought! I was able to do 2…

I'm over on sodium every day. I dont even try to limit it.

Yep... everyone's goals are different. Jamie Eason was/is my inspiration. She is fit with lean muscle AND curves. Not to sound rude but I could care less what anyone else thinks. I realize some will find me too muscle-y. I'm ok with that. I did this for me. My husband is the only one who is going to be seeing/experiencing…

Fabulous answer! ... me too!

I'm about your height and have been in maintainence mode for about 3 months. My weight fluctuates between 118-122. I eat 1600 net calories... 2100-2200 total calories because I always eat my exercise calories every day. I think part of the difference is lean muscle mass. The more you have, the more you can eat!

Weighted squats and lunges... I often feel like my legs are gonna give out or my heart will beat right out of my chest...

I don't keep it in the house but still drink diet soda frequently. It has not hindered me from reaching my goals.

You look fantastic!!! Great job!

That freshman fifteen hit me hard... I actually think it was more than 15 but I quit getting on the scale after a while because I didn't want to know. That weight gain back in college is what inspired me to start getting healthy and exercising and I've been doing it ever since!

I want Jillian Michaels' job :tongue:

Need more proof of why you should hit the weights... :tongue: ... this is from many years of lifting heavy and several months of proper eating in order to get lean. I might be too muscle-y for some people's taste but this was my own personal goal to reach. It has taken a lot of hard training to get here but I want to tell…

Get a HRM... seriously there is no way to know how much you are burning without it. I have burned as little as 275 in a 60 min class and as much as 650. If you do a live class it's always different and the amount you burn will depend heavily upon your instructor and the song choices. I thoroughly enjoy the live classes…

I often do 5 days/wk if I can make it :)
